This is a blog that will take you through the Rum lifestyles of a fine group of people that enjoy the fun and pleasure of fine rums. We will travel to distilleries, partys, and Rum Events to bring you the Rumstyles of all those we come in contact with.

Lost Spirits
Technology LLC is pleased to announce that the United States Patent and
Trademark Office has awarded the company two key patents governing its revolutionary
distilled spirits maturation process. The US patent applications 14/594,944 and 14/795,841 have been issued
notices of allowance by USPTO. They describe processes for maturing
distilled spirits involving heat driven esterification and photocatalytic
polymer degradation of oak barrel staves. Lost Spirits has shown
that its patented process creates chemical reactions in distilled spirits
similar to those that take place in oak barrels over the course of
decades.

Bryan Davis,
the inventor named on both patents, has published data demonstrating that the
new technology can nearly identically match the chemical signature of a
20-year-old rum, but do so in under a week's time. Since 2010, US-based
Lost Spirits Distillery has been refining a process that rapidly accelerates
the ageing process of spirits such as whiskey, rum and Tequila. Co-founded by Bryan Davis, Lost Spirits publicly unveiled its Thea One
reactor in
2015. The technology forces a chemical composition within new make liquid that
it is near identical to that of an aged variety.

“We
haven’t made something approximating the flavor of an aged rum – we actually
made an aged rum,” Davis has said that “Our technology is the only one that can
stand up to forensic chemistry as there’s a big difference between just
replacing parts of the process with creating a molecule-by-molecule map.” Now, the United States Patent and Trademark
Office has awarded the company key patents governing its maturation process
associated with Thea One.
